DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter, only my character and my ideas!

As soon as the bell rang, I jumped out of my seat and bounded towards Care of Magical Creatures. I may have looked like a complete prat but at least I was going to be with my friends. I finally got to Hagir's cabin with my hair a mess and my breath coming out in short bursts. And (just as my luck would have it) none of the Slytherins were there. Not a single one! Not even that prat Millicent Bulstrode who gets everywhere first!
"Look who's here!" Potter called loudly, the hate in his voice loudly tangible. "It's Kole Malfoy. All by her lonesome. Just like always."
I wheeled around to face him, anger twisting my face into ugly distortions. I narrowed my black eyes and felt my long blonde hair whip away from my scalp. "What did you say, Potter?" I spat, glaring at him angrily. Potter just shrugged and turned back to his little posse. "Hey!" I yelled, putting my hand on his shoulder and forcing him to face me. "Tell me what you just said to my face!"
"I will," Weasley said defiantly, sliding his brown eyes to meet mine. "He said you're always by yourself unless your with your brother and his bodyguards! Why do you even go here? Everyone hates you!"
I utter a low growl and rugby tackled him, his head bouncing heavily against the ground. "Don't—you –dare – talk – about – me – like – that – again!" I screamed, accentuating each word with a punch to the face.
"Oi! What's going on here?" Draco yelled as he ran down the hill.
"Get your crazy bitch of a sister off of me!" Weasley screeched from beneath me, his voice muffled by the hands he had thrown up to protect his face.
"What did you call her?" Theodore asked, pulling me off of him. Weasley struggled to his feet with the help of Potter and Granger, but didn't answer. "Hey! I asked you a question!"
"He only called her what she is!" Dean Thomas hollered from his standpoint. Weasley spat a tooth out and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "She's psycho and needs to be checked!"
"Watch who you're talking to, Thomas!" Draco added, stepping up and pushing Dean back. "Say one more word against her and it's me on top of you!"
"Ooh, we're so scared," Weasley sneered at him as he turned back to talk to him friends.
"Wha's goin' on ou' here?" the burly half giant Hagrid yelled as he lumbered out of his house "Ron? Who did tha' to you?"
"Kole!" Weasley muttered, glaring at me with those cold brown eyes.
"Who?" I rolled my eyes and cocked my hip, exasperated that the huge oaf had no idea who I was. Weasley pointed at me and Hagrid;s eyes widened in recognition. "Miss Malfoy, I have to tell ya that we don' figh' here at Hogwarts!
I nodded slemly, not trusting myself to say anything. Hagrid turned back to the rest of the class while I turned to look at my brother. I smiled my thanks and he winked.
"All righ' class! We're goin' to be raisin' Blast-Ended Skrewts!" Hagrid called excitedly, smiling at all of us.
"Why?" I called, snickering at the stunned expression on his face.
"Wha'?" he asked stupidly, turning to face me.
"She wants to know what the point of them is," Draco answered slowly and loudly. "I mean, why do we want to raise them?"
Hagrid blinked rapidly, his mouth opening and closing soundlessly, reminding me of a fish. "You two don' need to know tha'. Now. We'll be takin' care o' them. Pick whichever one you want and that's yours ta keep."
We all groaned and rolled our eyes, not excited about playing with our new pets.
